Four Points by Sheraton Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel

High-Rise Hotel and Casino One Block from Horseshoe Falls

Four Points by Sheraton Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel sits within easy walking distance of one of North America's natural wonders, the roaring Horseshoe Falls. The hotel is also plugged directly into the area's manmade attractions, thanks to an indoor walkway connecting to Fallsview Casino. More than 150 gaming tables, 3,000 slots, and scores of video-poker machines fill the neon-lit tower, which also houses a stage where A-list performers such as Jay Leno and Kelly Clarkson have performed.

High above all the glitz, rooms at the hotel offer unobstructed views of Horseshoe Falls and the city of Niagara Falls. For a closer look, hop onto a complimentary shuttle, which makes regular stops at the falls. Just steps from the hotel, The Keg Steakhouse & Bar boasts stunning views from its ninth-floor perch at Embassy Suites. The eatery serves juicy prime rib and sirloin tenderized to perfection by the Toronto Blue Jays’ cleanup hitter.

Niagara Falls has plenty of Vegas-style kitsch in the form of glitzy casinos, flashing neon signs, and soggy Elvis impersonators. But the star attraction remains the waterfalls, which send more than 700,000 gallons of water into the Niagara River each second. The Canadian side of Niagara is the best place to admire American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls. The iconic Maid of the Mist boat tours run April–October, but the Journey Behind the Falls attraction stays open year-round. Elevators descend through bedrock, leading to tunnels and observation decks just steps from the cascades. Niagara’s Fury—a recent addition—takes guests on a 3-D multisensory ride detailing the site's origins.
